They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

haven't had a chance to go through it yet. probably says on the web site.

Got the catalog today. Free shipping on orders over $100. Prices went way up. Wooden frames went from 82 cents to $1.45! They lost me with the price increases. Brushy Mountain is having their big sale right now. Paid 80 cents for frames. Bought 50 each of med. and deeps, plus a 12 pound box of foundation (135 sheets).

usually the shipping from bushy is to much for me. mann lake ships from CA so it's cheaper. i'll double check the prices but i have over 100 dollars worth of stuff, so brushy mt prices would have to be really go to beat that.....

See I normally buy from Brushy being on the east side for me and I do buy a lot from them in December. Today's order was from Rossman's since they are just a bit south of me in the same state. Shipping will kill you.

i think i tossed my old catalog. i don't know if they raised prices for the sale or if prices are just up. anyway, with the shipping from others, this is still the best deal for me.

..... I just hope Mann Lake will still have lower prices for those who wants to pick up.

I sent them an email the other day to ask about this because I live close enough to pick up too. Their answer - "We have pick up pricing on some items. Call for more information." Haven't gotten around to calling yet since I don't need anything at the moment. Just by blind luck, I did a good-sized order the week before they raised prices.

It's a killer when you need a handful of things and will be in the area, or someone can pick up for you. Big difference in cost now.

Actually the frames are $.93 each but if you order 100 or more they are $.68 each and they allow you to mix sizes to meet the 100 frame discount. I just ordered 100 mediums for $68 last night along with other stuff to hit the hundred dollar mark.

Just compared my order with Mann Lake's catalog. I ordered a queen cage, 50 med. and 50 deep frames, and a 12 lb. box of med. wired wax foundation. It was $189 with shipping from Brushy Mountain. I priced the same order from the new Mann Lake catalog and it was $219! And that's with their free shipping!

i did the same. i think it's only going to be a good deal if you are pretty close. otherwise, not so much....

i think you have to call it shipping included.

Guess it depends on what you are ordering...from what I have seen on the internet $.68 per frame is a pretty decent price and with free or included shipping it's that much better. Cheapest frames I have found are $.45 a piece down in TX but after shipping they end up not being any cheaper than the $.68 frames from Mann Lake. Now of course there are plenty of other things from ML that have been overpriced that I would never order...but frames I'll order from there all day long.
